2015 Map of Shutesbury

About this map

Quabbin Reservoir defines the eastern edge of this terrain, where the W Br Swift River and numerous brooks like Cobb Brook and Atherton Brook drain toward the massive basin. The landscape is marked by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Mt Mineral, Brushy Mtn, and Mt Orient, interspersed with historic hilltop settlements and small valley communities. The New England National Scenic Trail winds through the central highlands, tracing a path past The Plains and Poverty Mtn. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as Plainview Cem and Valley Cem, which sit alongside established rural roads. From the northern waters of Lake Wyola Reservoir down to the village of Pelham, the map reveals a community defined by its water sources and high-elevation landmarks like Rattlesnake Gutter and January Hills.
